Who The Cap Fit Composer(s): Aston Barrett; Carlton Barrett Performer(s): Bob Marley; and various other artists
Man to man is so unjust, children You don't know who to trust Your worst enemy could be your best friend And your best friend your worst enemy
Some will eat and drink with you Then behind them su-su 'pon you Only your friend know your secrets So only he could reveal it And who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat) Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl I saying, "cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now Then behind they try to eliminate you But who Jah bless, no one curse Thank God we're past the worse
Hypocrites and parasites Will come up and take a bite And if your night should turn to day A lot of people would run away And who the cap fit let them wear it (repeat)
And then a gonna trhow me corn And then a gonna call no fowl And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"
Some will eat and drink with you And then behind them su-su 'pon you And if your night should turn to day A lot of people will run away And who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat) I throw me corn, me no call no fowl I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Who Said I Would? Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
I know she says she wants me I hear it every day And I know she know it keeps me Well there ain't no other way But she's got a heart must be made of stone Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says Who said I would She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me She fills me full of loving Oh then she sets me free But she's got a heart must be made of stone Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says Who said I would, tell me, who said I would Who said I would, who said I would
I'm not the only one but I do fine I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind I don't own her and I never could Don't think I do, don't think I should
Tell me Who said I would, who said I would
But she's got a heart must be made of stone And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
You're not the only one but you do fine You suit my purpose and you're just my kind I don't own me and you never could Don't think you do, don't think you should

And she's got a heart must be made of stone Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone She says Who said I would, tell me, who said I would Who said I would, who said I would

So I play this song one more time, 'cause lord it's all I know I'll be standin' at your door following along 'cause all I have is a song And this song will live on
Who Paid The Rent For Mrs. Rip Van Winkle? Composer(s): Fred Fischer; Alfred Bryan Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists
Oh, oh, many years ago Lived the wife of happy Rip Van Winkle Oh, oh, she sent him away As the little stars began to twinkle All that he had he had under his hat She was glad to see him go So over the hills he went Left her without a cent One thing I'm anxious to know....
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears?
She had no friends in the place No one to embrace But the landlord always left her with a smile on his face Oh, who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away?
C'mon, tell me!
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears?
She never married again She was lonesome but then You'll always find a rooster Lookin' round for a hen
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away?

Who needs you To drive me out of my mind Who needs you I'd like to know Who needs you To give me chills when I'm well How fast can a helpless heart go

No appetite, no sleep at night ...

Well I told you `bout your attitude And it didn't do me any good 'Cause you took your love away Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache
There are places I remember Where the ladies still are tender Against you they can't compare Baby we've just got to get it back together
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you
I just got to get it through to you That my loving heart is ever true Please come back to where you belong Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you Yeah you Oh oh

Well, it's sunrise on the freeway as I get back from town Find you standin' in my boots, kicking my dog around Empty bottles on the floor Enough to build a monument Then you've got the nerve to tell me Somebody took the rent
Who needs ya'? Think about it baby, who needs you? Now you can save your lip, just pack your grip And leave a trail of smoke behind you Who needs ya'? Can you tell me baby, who needs you? Who needs you? Think about it baby Well, who needs you? Can you tell me please?
Last week you pulled another of your tricks You let your brother move in here with a herd of freaks They ate us out of house and home Turned this place into a sty Darlin' by tomorrow you'll be eatin' humble pie

You were in my dreams Always in my dreams That was long before I ever saw you standing there When I felt afraid Of the choice I made I would close my eyes And hope my dreams would comfort me But now I'm free

In my fantasy You believed in me And as long as you were there Then I believed in me Now suddenly
Who needs to dream when there is you? Who needs a heaven to look forward to? For my whole life through Who needs to dream? You're my dream come true
Now you are my dream You are my only dream I'll hold you in my heart forever Who needs to dream? Who needs to dream? When I see you there Then I see my every dream come true
Who needs to dream when there is you? Who needs a heaven? For my whole life through Who needs to dream? You're my dream come true Every dream All come true My dream come true!
